It's very helpful to have such articles. For example, it would otherwise have been hard to discover where John Leax, William's brother, was living at the time. This item appeared on 7 March 1910 on page 9, columns 2 and 3.

William George Ostien married Ida Elise Leax on 5 March 1903 in Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania. Another Ostien - Leax marriage was Joseph Bruce Ostien and Minnie Leax in 1908.
